Poem Category: Garden Sundial

Sundial garden
just genes sprouting
the tomatoes out.

Cool heavens …
Orion moves into
the affairs of men.

Sundial garden
moving handfuls of cow-dung
the bed of roses.

Garden storm
winter licking
the skeletons of trees.

Sundial garden
the lean of the wildflowers
from the winter shade.

Sundial garden
the sound of the gate locking
behind the old dog.

Sundial garden
vegetables and flowers
for the family table.

End of holidays…
the beach waves unchanged
around my feet.

Sundial garden
the dropped fig
spilling its seeds.

Apple orchard
the caterpillars crawl out to
the tapping of rain.
